Well, I'd say that I'm percieving the energy of your post, which may have an indirect link to you, but still isn't specifically you.

But anyway, I checked and I could feel what you were talking about. You definitely "feel" female to me, but there's a... well, it's strange. It's as if I can sense an energy within an energy.

It's not like the women I've met who have a very masculine energy. That energy feels like it's part of the whole package, whereas yours feels like there's some sort of duality there, as if within your "female" energy there are attributes of masculinity, but the energy as a whole isn't masculine -- it feels too light and feminine for that, as if you're either young or you have a reasonable degree of awareness/presence/connection.

Note: To what degree my interpretation is biased, I don't know. Also, I'm not what I'd call psychic, but I can do most of that stuff to some degree if I want to. So don't interpret my description as if it came from an expert psychic, because it sure didn't.

You're right, you did. No more writing posts for me when it's late.

Asking me how to feel male/female energy is kind of like asking me how I can see the difference between a male and a female -- to me it's pretty obvious.

If you can already sense energy, my advice would be to just relax and not try so hard with the gender thing. Don't be "looking" for something, as I find that can bias your interpretation.

It's very likely that the energy you sense originally "is" the gender energy you're looking for, you just expect it to be something else.

You're right in that people all feel differently (at least, I agree with you). Overall, I think all women and men have access to both gender polarities of energy, some just cultivate it more then others. Eg. I certainly wouldn't describe my energy as feminine, but it has a lot more lightness in it then other guys I know. I'm clearly bias here, but it definitely says a lot about my nature -- I'm generally nothing like any guys I know, but then again, I'm not much like anybody I know, heh. I think my social peer group is dragging behind my personal development.

Edit: I'll add that, in my experience, awareness has a lot to do with how well you can sense energy. When you are less focused on thought, internal incongruencies, etc, you literally have more awareness to sense and interpret things, kind of like it's easier to notice details with your eyes if you don't have 2 people talking to you at once and objects passing through your field of vision. You certainly "see" what is in front of you, but you may not be consciously aware of the detail. And sensing is very much a conscious practice.

(Yes, I know that's a typical "guy" thing to say. Couldn't resist. )

Seriously though, I'm not sure what to make of your gender confusion issue.

Ultimately, I'd look at it this way: Do you feel like you desire a more feminine energy, are you simply looking for clarity, or are you perhaps dealing with some sort of self acceptance issues?

Perhaps clarify your desires and proceed from there. From experience, I know it's very difficult to go about finding a solution when you try to get something by taking action without knowing what you want. All of the action, I find, usually arises out of some sort of resistance, and the universe tends to be somewhat uncooperative in sending me the nice leads I usually get when I'm not resistant.
